The Silent Suicide Crisis Among Men | Indoda Ayikhali | Midday Connexion | Gagasi FM

Why are men more prone to suicide than women? In this necessary and unfiltered "Indoda Ayikhali" discussion on the Midday Connexion, DJ Sonic sits down with cultural historian and mental health practitioner Ndabe Myeza to address the silent suicide crisis affecting men. Ndabe Myeza argues that modern societal pressures, family dysfunction, and a disconnect from traditional cultural support systems have left many men feeling powerless and hopeless. He explains that for men, pain often goes unspoken, leading to a state where life loses its meaning. The conversation uses the late Ricky Rick as a poignant example of how someone can appear successful on the outside while battling immense internal struggles. Ndabe breaks down the "four pillars of suicide"—pain, hopelessness, connection, and capability—and offers a path toward healing. He explains how ancient cultural practices once provided a space for men to be vulnerable and share their burdens, a practice that has been lost over time. This is an essential conversation for men who are struggling and for the communities that need to support them.
